How to get the catalog item name in a field Item form?

I need to load name of the item in the "Item Name" field, Ex: In the above screen shot, i need to have 'Test Item' value in Item name.

Hi Swathi,

  For this, i belive you have to use variable editor to get the variable field on request item form.

Thanks

Hi Swathi,

I think you can have onLoad catalog client script, get the window url which should contain the catalog item sys_id, query the maintain item table with this sys_id and populate the item name in that variable.

var windowUrl = window.location.href;

// it should print something like this.

"https://dev17945.service-now.com/ess/com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?sysparm_clear_stac..."

var rec_sys = getParmVal('sysparm_id'); // this contains the sys_id

if(rec_sys != null) {

var gr = new GlideRecord('sc_cat_item');

gr.addQuery('sys_id',rec_sys);

gr.query();

if(gr.next()){

g_form.setValue('variable_name', gr.name)

}

}

function getParmVal(name){

  var url = document.URL.parseQuery(); // this also gives the window url

  if(url[name]){

  return decodeURI(url[name]);

  }

  else{

  return;

  }

}

Hi Swati,

We had a similar requirement and here is the code we built. This will populate the name of the item in a specific field, in our case short description.

var sysID = $('sysparm_id').value;
   var catalogName = new GlideRecord('sc_cat_item_producer');
   //catalogName.addEncodedQuery(encQuery);
   catalogName.addQuery('sys_id',sysID);
   catalogName.query();
   while(catalogName.next())
   {
   g_form.setValue('Short_Description',catalogName.name); // BACKEND NAME OF THE FIELD ITEM_NAME
   }
